Nancy Knudsen
Born
Mareeba, Australia
“He abolished the Caliphate (rather like abolishing the Vatican); installed a Western-style secular republic; prohibited the wearing of the fez; made English the official second language; introduced mass education; emancipated women; changed the written language from Arabic characters to the Roman alphabet; and, most extraordinarily, inspired the army to defend the new order and the constitution, rather than seek power for its own sake as is the habit of many armies.”
